History:
OGYGIAN
has spent his life surrounded by legend. He is the last son of
Damascus, a Horse of the Year and the 16th ranking greatest
Thoroughbred of the 20th century. He hails from the celebrated
Tartan Farms and was trained by Jan Nerud, son of great Dr.
Fager trainer, John Nerud. During his career, the handsome bay
was one of the top runners of his generation. As a 2-year-old,
he was unbeaten in three starts, including a stunning 9-½
length victory over champion sprinter Groovy in the 1985
Belmont Futurity. As a 3-year old he vanquished the
competition in the Riva Ridge Stakes and the Grade 1 Dwyer
Stakes and Jerome Handicap. As a stallion standing at
Claiborne Farms, OGYGIAN sired 23 stakes winners and 11 graded
stakes winners. Even his name is steeped in myth: Meaning of
great antiquity or age, from the Greek Ogygos, OGYGIAN is the
name of the remote island where Odysseus lives for seven years
with the powerful Goddess Calypso in Homer’s Odyssey.
Like
Sunshine Forever and Creator, OGYGIAN was standing stud in
Japan before being acquired by Old Friends through our
associate at Narvick International, Megumi Igarashi. “He
is hanging the charm against evil from his bridle,” Miss
Igarashi informed us via email. “It’s violet, the
holy color of Buddhism. Someone gave it to him long time ago.”
The lucky amulet brought this champion safely home in August
of 2005.
